Pre-wrap and Tattoos

Just when we thought we heard of everything we learned of another use for pre-wrap!
Tattoo artists use pre-wrap to wrap over a bandage after a fresh tattoo as part of the after-care process.

Testimonials from customers: "We use a meat packing bandage after a fresh tattoo and wrap the pre-wrap around bandage to keep swelling to a minimum and to secure bandage underneath!"

"After we put the bandage over the recently finished tattoo we then use the pre-wrap to completely cover it making it more aesthetically pleasing. We will be ordering often."

"A client brought it in because his sensitive skin would blister when we used tape of any kind on him. So we gave it a try and it worked out fine. He did not have any issues or blisters when we used it."

Can I be allergic to pre-wrap?

Underwrap known as m-wrap from Mueller is a latex-free product. According to sources at Mueller, they've done investigations into skin irritations from taping. What they have learned is that skin irritations occur not from the pre-wrap itself but rather
from either a.) other products like sprays or ointments used while
taping or b.) occlusion of the skin that has not been cleansed can
result in a form of heat rash. This is itchy and often painful.

M-wrap is a polyester polyurethane foam, which is inert.
Preliminary repeated insult patch testing show no hypersensitivity in
humans to the foam. It is a petroleum product, so people can react to
this similar to neoprene, in rare cases.

This is not to be construed as medical advice. Please check with your doctor if you
are concerned about any reaction you have.

Rules Regarding Pre-Wrap as Headbands
-According to the National Association of State High School Associations (NFSH) Basketball - by Megan Fenton (copyright Pre-wrap.com)

• A headband is anything that goes around the whole head – not just around the hair (for example a ponytail holder/elastic/scrunchie)
•Pre-wrap is considered a headband, along with elastic strips/bands, or terry cloth sweat bands
• The pre-wrap color must be white, black, beige, or the main color of the jersey
• All team members are required to wear the same colors also – for example one team member is not allowed to wear black if the other is wearing the primary team color, or white or beige
• Headbands must be worn around the forehead or crown of the head
• Headbands must be made of a non-abrasive material – like pre-wrap
• If the athlete is wearing one color of pre-wrap, or other type of headband, their wrist or arm bands must also be the same color
• Items that are not matching or do not follow these rules must be removed before competition

Skaters Use Pre-wrap

I just got a really nice note from Victor over at Capital Ice. Since we're not skaters, he kindly explained how they use our pre-wrap.

"For the ankle area which also needs protection against the hard boots (without the pads, I get blisters), the sleeves do not work very well; after skating hard for an hour, the pads will slip out of the sleeve. So I use the prewrap and the athletic tape instead. And it works very well. I've been using it for a year or so.

First I use the prewrap around my ankle, put the pads on it, then use more
prewrap around it. To hold everything tight, I use the athletic tape."

He also told us how much he likes the story of how our business started and all of the colors that we have.

His comments touched us and just reinforces how much we love our customers. Thanks for all of the wonderful feedback. We really do love to hear what you have to say!
